[Luke Towan] has a cool HO scale Escalator mostly made of 3D printed parts, with some laser cut acrylic, for a station on his HO model railroad. Escalators are mesmerizing to watch – there’s something ...

Sometimes the best way to figure out how something works is to make a model of it. 3D-modeling software makes it possible to do the job in silico, and sometimes that’s enough. But to really get inside ...

Apparently Tesla fans won’t sit around waiting for their favorite car maker to come out with scale models of the Cybertruck, as some of them have already created their own with the use of a 3D printer ...

Building 3D printed parts with artificial intelligence (AI) can optimize the design process by generating complex geometries that are lightweight yet strong. This can be difficult to achieve manually.

Applying additive manufacturing at scale requires rethinking design, quality, operations and the economics of making physical products.
